The Oregon Ducks were without Chris Boucher, but Dillon Brooks bounced back with 25 points despite the loss to Arizona in the Pac-12 Championship, 83-80.

Arizona set the pace early and the Oregon Ducks fought to keep up. It came down to the final minutes, but the Wildcats were too much on Offense. The Oregon Defense battled the entire game. Chris Boucher was missed, but in a matchup as big as Arizona Kavell Bigby-Williams played pretty well.

Bigby-Williams had six rebounds, a big block before the end of the first half and contributed Offensively with 3 points. He did his job on Defense and did it well for the 14 minutes he was on the floor.

Four Oregon Ducks scored in double figures led by Brooks with 25 points. Tyler Dorsey had 23 and was 3 of 8 from beyond the arc.

Looking ahead, the NCAA Tournament is upon us. Offensively the Oregon Ducks passed two tests of the Pac-12 Tournament and Tyler Dorsey found the basket to the tune of 67 points in three games that should have Oregon set for a Tournament run. The Oregon Ducks are still capable of reaching the Final Four. Matchups along the way could provide some challenges on Defense.
